July 13 – Sunday
A warm night and only 20 at 6.00am. Although the temperature only reached about 26, it has been very humid. How nice to get the washing dry on the clothes line and back in the cupboard before afternoon tea. I know you all feel sorry for us!
This morning – after all the housework – we headed for a market at the Rockhampton Heritage Village. This was a large area which is being developed by the historical volunteers to represent, using relocated structures, the type of buildings and businesses which would have been found in the area in the olden days. A school dating from 1915 has been beautifully restored, with proper pens and ink for modern day pupils to practise their penmanship. A highlight was a drive around the site in an army jeep. As the market is only held about five times a year, we were lucky to be in Rockhampton today.
After leaving the market we found a large camping store, similar to Anaconda, and Les was able to find a gas fitting so that we can use the barbecue with the small gas cylinder. We also discovered that apart from a couple of specialty stores, NOTHING opens in Rockhampton on a Sunday – no Big W, no K-Mart, no supermarkets, nothing!
Also discovered last night that the caravan park is very close to both the north/south train line and the airport.
